HC Deb 06 April 1965 vol 710 cc56-7W
Mr. Wall

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs why no representative from the East Riding of Yorkshire has been appointed to the Yorkshire and Humberside Economic Planning Council.

Mr. William Rodgers

Members of the Planning Councils are not intended to he representative of particular geographical or other interests but are appointed for the contribution they can make to the work of the Council. I am sure the Council for Yorkshire and Humberside will be able to take full account of the interests of the East Riding.
